Three teaching and learning ideas borrowed from Belmore South's classroom (allstars.edublogs.org).
1. HSIE - History perspectives: Develop a relationship with a school in another country associated with your HSIE studies. For example, in investigating origins of convicts from the UK, the class can write history reports that are shared via the class blog with the sister school. The sister school can provide feedback and thoughts from a UK perspective.
2. Creative writing: Use developed relationships with students to read and critique in a supportive way creative writing documents. Older students from the same or different (geographic) areas can provide feedback on clarity, expression, and language construction. Students from other cultures can provide feedback on the characters and story line from a different cultural perspective.
3. HSIE - Geography: Plot visitors to your class blog site on a ClustrMap (free on http://www.clustrmaps.com/ if visitors are less than 2500).
